These caps are actually pretty cool if Yankees stuff doesn’t bug you. The logo is gold. The patch itself is kinda neat. New Era will make them available to the general public next week. The box, however, won’t be available in stores. I’ll probably put baseball cards in mine. I have no idea if the Yankees will actually wear them at any time this year, but it’d be cool if they did.

Darren Rovell of ESPN posted this pic of a cap he’s apparently received or at least been made privy to. It has the Rivera logo taking the place of the NY. Which seems odd. I can tell you, though, the cap I have sitting right next to me has a regular — albeit gold — interlocking NY on it.

Anyone ever connected to sports in general but MLB specifically never went broke overestimating fans willingness to piss away money on stupid crap.

If they can sell grass and dirt from the old Yankee Stadium, as well as seats and parts of the wall in the batter’s eye, . why not a Mariano hat? Not that I’d buy one cause that’s just nuts. But, when Steiner collectables gets around to offering up the urinals from the men’s rooms that when I’m buying. Over the years I recycled beer in so many of them the odds are that I’m going to get one I previously used.

I will pick me up a couple of those wicked lids because I want to and not
because I feel any pressure from society.

Cool media folks often get sample items long before they hit the retail shelfs. It makes sense because perhaps a random NBC baseball blogger might post a story about the hats and people will say “Wow those are cool I want one”

believe it or not they will probably be the last to get it, too bad you don’t
live in the hood, I bet you could get that at the Korean or Chinese spot.
That’s how you get the MJ’s before the release date.
